- Chipped and open joints in warehouse floors
- Perimeter joints in tiled floors filled with grout
- Skirting that has pulled away from the floor

About our floor joint sealing in Cramond
In commercial and industrial units, concrete floor joints take a hammering from wheels and traffic. We reseal them with a product chosen for the movement and the traffic. We work on skirting boards, commercial floors and thresholds, and common reasons people get in touch are rigid edge joints in tiled floors and concrete floor joints that have broken down.
New homes in smaller Scottish places are often single plots, self-builds or small developments. They need their sealant and floor joints finished just as carefully as on a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Floor joint sealing around Cramond
Floors around Edinburgh run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. The joint at the skirting or threshold has to allow for that. Timber frame is common in newer Scottish homes, and as the frame dries and settles, skirting and sealant joints can open up.
Managing a site like Craigmount High School? Then floor and threshold joints in busy corridors wear quickly and are best resealed early.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Avoid caulk in bathrooms and kitchens
- Mark off resealed joints in warehouses
- Check skirting joints after the heating season
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
Keep heavy traffic off resealed concrete joints for the cure time we give you. Mark the area off so drivers avoid it while it cures.
Cracks along tile grout lines come back unless the movement is dealt with. Adding a movement joint early can stop cracks spreading to the tiles.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cracked or broken concrete slabs
- Water getting under the tiles from elsewhere
- A tiled floor that needs relaying
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on the length of joint. Outside jobs in Cramond need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we check the joint and the floor and agree which sealant suits it.
- We take out any old caulk, sealant or grout along the line.
- The joint is cleaned, vacuumed and backed where depth needs controlling.
- We apply a flexible sealant, or a floor-joint product on concrete, in a suitable colour.
- Finally we tool it smooth and explain when the floor can be used and cleaned.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
